Nietzsche and Wittgenstein: In Search of Secular Salvation - Softcover
This book focuses on a number of questions that occupied Nietzsche and Wittgenstein and reveals in what way the two philosophers, who are quite different in temperament, do actually share much in common. It is explained that in their philosophies the method is one: philosophy should act as therapy, creativity and a work of art. The style of both philosophers is similar: non-systematic, aphoristic, dialogic. And the goal is one: ethical. Both philosophers are aware of the danger of nihilism, its attraction and seductive manner, and both try to offer a way to overcome it; to subdue decadence. That is the therapeutic and redemptive aspect of their philosophy. In a world devoid of God, in which all the old values have lost their relevance to the human soul, they try to indicate a path to salvation for humanity; a form of salvation which is not the result of divine grace, but of human creativity. Shoshana Ronen studied philosophy at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She submitted her doctoral thesis at Warsaw University where she is now a lecturer.
